The PGA of America and Kohler Co.
name David Kohler General Chair of
the 2015 PGA Championship
The appointment of David
Kohler as General Chair of the
2015 PGA Championship was an-
nounced August 13 by The PGA of
America and Kohler Co.
The 2015 PGA Championship
will be held for the third time on
the Straits Course at Whistling
Straits, August 10-16, following
memorable PGA Championships
in both 2004 (won by Vijay Singh)
and 2010 (won by Martin
Kaymer).
David Kohler is President of
Kohler Co. and on the Board of
Directors of Kohler Co., the Green
Bay Packers, Interface Inc., and In-
terceramic. Supporting David will
be several thousand volunteers and
a seasoned cadre of professionals
including Vice Chairman Michael
Belot, who recently served as the
Tournament Director of the 2012
Ryder Cup at Medinah. Belot
knows what it takes to set the stage
for a dramatic golf experience, as
the 2012 Ryder Cup was one of the
most successful events in golf his-
tory.
Joining David and Michael will
be PGA Professional Jim Richer-
son, Kohler Group Director of
Golf and a member of the PGA of
America Board of Directors.
“There is no more challenging and
dramatic venue in Major Champi-
onship golf than Whistling
Straits,” said David Kohler, “and
we are committed to executing an
event of exceptional caliber. My
father Herb Kohler, and Pete Dye,
who together built the course, re-
ally could accept nothing less.”
Fresh from the
Senior PGA
Championship
presented by
Ki t c h e n Ai d ,
held in May at
Bellerive Coun-
try Club in St.
Louis, Jason
Mengel will serve as Champi-
onship Director for the 2015 PGA
Championship. Mengel previously
was the Operations Manager for
both the 2008 and 2011 PGA
Championship.
The PGA and Kohler Co., are
focused on continuing to build on
this successful Championship
legacy with a renewed commit-
ment to corporate and spectator ex-
perience during the event.
Demand is once again expected
to be high for tickets, so fans are
encouraged to pre-register now for
2015 PGA Championship tickets.

istration or volunteer opportuni-
ties, log onto

For those who wish to sample
the golf experience prior to the
Championship, they can reserve a
room in the
Five-Star Five-
Diamond Amer-
ican Club
resort-hotel in
Kohler, Wis., or
the Three-Star
Inn on Wood-
lake. Individu-
als can reserve tee times on one or
more of the four courses at the
world-renowned golf venues of
Whistling Straits and Blackwolf
Run, which have combined to host
six Major Championships. All of
the courses are ranked in the top
100 in the United States.

Fall Follies
student art
projects
continue to
impress
One of the most anticipated auc-
tion items at each Fall Follies is the
beautiful artwork created by
Kohler students. This year does not
disappoint! The students have cre-
ated six dining chairs, each with a
unique color palette and theme.
These one-of-a-kind pieces will be
auctioned off at this year’s Fall Fol-
lies, October 11th at the American
Club.
After being assembled by
Kohler School’s Tech Ed students,
the chairs were each assigned to a
grade, 1-6. The theme of each chair
was designed to match the artistic
abilities of the corresponding
grade. For instance, the youngest
artists painted an insect themed
chair, featuring caterpillars, butter-
flies, and ladybugs. The most ad-
vanced artists, created an urban
themed chair, complete with city
skyline, train, and helicopter.
Chairs like these cannot be
found in stores. They are a direct
result of many talented parent vol-
unteers who gave their valuable
time to assist the children in creat-
ing truly unique furniture pieces

Fun for all ages at second annual Oktoberfest
By Jeff Pederson,
Sheboygan Falls News Editor
After opening with a bang a

coast on the tide of a successful
debut.
That is why the second annual

man-related activities and several
new events for revelers of all ages
when it hits River Park in down-
town Sheboygan Falls Friday,

Johnson Bank in
Kohler Celebrates
20 years of service
Kohler, Wisconsin – August 19,
2013. Peter Engel, President of
Johnson Bank, announced today
that the bank will proudly cele-
brate their 20-year anniversary this
year.
“We’ve enjoyed serving the
people of the Kohler and Sheboy-
gan communities the last 20
years,” said Engel. “Our people
have formed long-term relation-
ships with our clients and are very
proud of this milestone.”
Johnson Bank is hosting a cele-
bration to commemorate their an-
niversary the week of September
9th through the 13th. On Septem-
ber 13th the bank will host a cook-
out with refreshments beginning at
11:00 a.m. Please RSVP by calling
920-208-7440.
Johnson Bank has also part-
nered with Habitat for Humanity –

20-year anniversary as well. To-
gether, they will be holding a do-
nation drive throughout the week
for Habitat for Humanity to pur-
chase building supplies and
mateirals. To make a donation,

Bank, 815 E. Woodlake Road in

Central Bark Doggy Day Care
Celebrates 5th Anniversary
Central Bark Sheboygan
opened at the end of August of
2008 on the south side of Sheboy-
gan and has become home away
from home for many area canine
kids.
“We are celebrating our 5th an-
niversary with an Open House dur-
ing regular business hours
September 12 to September 15 and
a “Pawty” on September 12 from
6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. All
spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated,
leashed, socialized dogs, and their
people are welcome to attend. We
will be offering food, fun, and
more. For more information on the
‘Pawty,’ go to
centralbarkusa.com/Sheboygan,”
said Linda Gurath, owner of Cen-
tral Bark Sheboygan.
Central Bark provides dogs
with socialization, and physical
and mental exercise, which helps
to develop their confidence, result-
ing in happy, well balanced dogs.
They offer a structured day with
group play time, rest time, then
more group play time. The pups
run and wrestle and play fetch and
tug-of-war with their buddies.
They also receive love and atten-
tion from the human canine care-
givers who monitor their
playgroups. In addition to going
home happy and well adjusted at
the end of the day, they go home
dog tired.
Linda said, "Our doggy parents
find that Central Bark gives their
canine kids the socialization and
exercise they need to be happy and
well-balanced, and they as dog par-
ents experience fewer behavioral
problems and a more rewarding
dog ownership experience.”
The Sheboygan Central Bark
has five years of experience in ca-
nine group play, dog behavior in a
group environment, and dog group
dynamics. The franchise structure
that each Central Bark follows is
designed to promote a safe and
healthy environment for all. Cen-
tral Bark Sheboygan is backed by
the experience of a nationwide
franchise that has 28 locations and
has provided over 1.6 million days
of day care. That is a lot of experi-
ence!
“I would like to see all puppies
and dogs have the opportunity to
learn to socialize with other dogs
in our controlled environment
where their experiences can be
positive,” commented Linda.
“Having at least one day a week
where they can run and play and
have fun with their friends really
helps them to be good canine citi-
zens.”
Sound too good to be true?
Well, there are requirements to be
met to participate. Your canine kid
will have to have been
neutered/spayed if over six months
old, show proof of vaccinations –
DHPP, Rabies, and Bordatella, and
pass a behavior assessment that is
conducted on the first day of day
care.
Central Bark also offers sleep-
over services, grooming services
by a professional groomer, a doggy
boutique filled with quality mer-
chandise including Fromm Four
Star dog food, training by Nova
Dog Training, and canine cab serv-
ice. They love to show off their fa-
cility and their program, so stop in
for a tour and see what all of the
Bark is about!

According to Mayer, the band’s

man Societies of Milwaukee Ok-
toberfest, Schawbenhof
Oktoberfest, Mai Fest, German-
American Day in Stone Bank and

The D’werdenfelser Schuhplat-

sists of members of all ages.
“The Schuhplatters will enter-
tain with their performances of

get people up on their feet and
joining in all the fun.”
In addition, Al and Al’s Restau-
rant will serve authentic German
food in the main tent on Saturday
from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
“We received a lot of com-
ments last year from people want-
ing to see more German food and
music, so we have added a lot of
that this year,” Mayer said. “Al
and Al’s has been the premier Ger-
man Restaurant in the area for the
past 52 years, so we are very
pleased that they will be joining us
this year to provide a traditional
German menu.”

Sign-up night to be held September 12th
The Kohler Cub Scout Pack in-
vites boys in 1st through 5th grade
to join Cub Scouts. A New Scout
Information Roundup for boys and
their parents will be held in the
Kohler School Library on Septem-
ber 12th at 6:30 pm.
Cub Scouts explore a variety of
new interests and activities with
other boys their age. Cubs meet
bi-weekly in small groups (dens)
and monthly with the entire group
(pack) to share experiences, activ-
ities, and recognition. Boys in 1st
through 5th grade are eligible and
can start at any level.
Participation helps Cubs de-
velop a sense of confidence, team-
work, responsibility and a spirit of
service. Simply put, Scouting
helps your son be “prepared for
life.” Scouting strengthens family
and community relationships,
builds friendships, and identifies
areas of interest. Independent re-
search shows that Scouting helps
boys develop increased skills and
abilities including teamwork, will-
ingness to help others and to carry
out responsibilities, as well as an
increased ability to get along well
with other young people and
adults.
Families who are unable to at-
tend the Roundup or have ques-
tions may contact Tim Beyer,
Cubmaster, at

able activities and games will be
available to youngsters for a small
fee throughout the two-day event.
“The inflatables were a big hit last
year, which is something that kind
of surprised us,” Meyer said. “We
will be charging $1 for four tick-
ets, which is basically 25 cents
apiece. Our goal is to make it as
reasonable and family friendly as
we can.
“Much of what we raised
through Oktoberfest will go to
support the new park on the west
side of Falls,” he said. “Some of it
will also go to all of the other com-
munity improvement endeavors
that we have always supported
throughout the years.”
The KPAL organization will
also used funds from the event to
support youth and community
service projects.
“KPAL is also growing steadily
and Oktoberfest has helped to gain
us some notice and draw in some
new people that might have not
known anything about us,” Okto-
berfest co-organizer Jeff Ro-
manoski of KPAL said. “Our main
focus with KPAL is on youth
through scholarships and camps.”
This year’s event has been boosted
by the addition of Blattner’s Pig-
gly Wiggly and Piggly Wiggly
Midwest as the title sponsor.
Other event sponsors include:
Johnsonville, Culver’s, Dulmes

“Who’s got talent? Not your
“average’ talent show
August 26, 2013 (Kohler, Wis.) –
The Kohler Performing Arts Or-
ganization presents, “Who’s Got
Talent?”, a regional showcase of
talent for $1,500 and more in
prizes to be held at the Kohler Me-
morial Theatre in Kohler, Wiscon-
sin on September 7, 2013 at 7:00
p.m. to raise money for Kohler per-
forming arts students.
For the first time, the Kohler
Performing Arts Organization,
after 16 years of holding a dinner
auction as its sole source of
fundraising, has ventured into
“show” production as its second
fundraiser to benefit the choir and
music students at Kohler School.
Jodi Ducharme, Chairperson for
“Who’s Got Talent?”, Kohler grad-
uate, and parent of two Kohler
music students and performers in
their own right, took what started
as a dinner auction idea to spin off
“America’s Got Talent” and turned
it into this year’s “Who’s Got Tal-
ent?” event. “We didn’t know
what to expect,” said Ducharme,
“and when we filled three days of
audition slots with over 60 differ-
ent acts, we knew we were on to
something big.”
Four of the 14 finalists hail
from Kohler, but the other 10 acts
come from as far away as Indiana,
and more locally from Milwaukee,
Green Bay, Manitowoc, Fond du
Lac, Howards Grove, Plymouth,
and Sheboygan. “We kept looking
at each other during auditions with
our jaws dropped open!” said Rich
Tengowski, Instrumental Music
Director and Producer of “Who’s
Got Talent?”. “The caliber of the
performances was truly amazing
and we are really looking forward
to finding out which of these per-
formers is going to win.” “And
we’re glad we don’t have to
choose!” said Tengowski.
Acts include vocalists and in-
strumental performances, but there
are also dancers, contemporary
ballet and Irish dance, “street” ma-
gicians, a comic monologue called
“The Crush” from one of the Youth
performers, and even an R&B
group rendition of Justin Timber-
lake’s “Suit and Tie.” Find out
more about all of the finalists at
www.kohlerperformingarts.org.
Celebrity Judges include Jay
Frieders, afternoon DJ at
96.1/104.5 “The Point,” Doug
Manderfield, Chicago Talent Agent
and Producer and participant in
over 40 shows himself, Quynh
Trueblood, Superintendent of
Kohler Schools, and Nina Kohler,
owner of Sweet Potato’s Unique
Boutique, wife of Kohler Co. CEO
David Kohler, and parent of three
Kohler students.
“Social media has been a big
part of this event’s marketing ef-
fort,” according to Jon Erlien, Mar-
keting Director for “Who’s Got
Talent?” and father of two Kohler
students. “It’s been great working
with the PAO as they learn to ex-
pand beyond Kohler to get their
message ‘out there’ about the PAO
and this event.” Jon is behind the
event’s Facebook presence and
producer of professional grade au-
dition videos found on the site. “I
wasn’t sure I would spend much
time at the auditions, but once they
started, I found it hard to leave and
not interview everyone and film
their fabulous performances,” said
Erlien. The PAO has since
launched a You-Tube channel with
some of the performances, and
hopes to use the channel to further
promote Kohler music student tal-
ents.
And don’t expect the same old
baked goods concessions. “Who’s
Got Talent?” has partnered with
Bomallies Food Truck and others
to bring a little gourmet fanfare to
Kohler for the evening. The Food
Trucks will be serving outside of
the Theater from 5:30 p.m. until
after the show.
Corporate sponsors of this event
include Plenco (Plastics Engineer-
ing Company) and Olivu 426, of
Sheboygan, Kohler Co., Schenck
PC, and 96.1/104.5FM “The
Point.”
Don’t miss your chance to be
dazzled live and in-person by these
amazing and electrifying stars!

About Us: The purpose of the
Kohler PAO is to create a working
relationship with the school and
community in order to promote
and support the music program.
The organization’s main event is
an annual auction. 100% of the
proceeds from this benefit event
are returned to the students in the
form of either middle school music
camp scholarships or financial sup-
port toward the high school per-
formance tours. The event is a
social highlight for the community
of Kohler and generates tremen-
dous interest in the performing
arts. Since 2002, Kohler PAO has
raised nearly $300,000 for the per-
forming arts students of Kohler.

Sharon Ellifson, first grade
teacher
Greetings! My name is Sharon
Ellifson and I am very excited to
be joining the Kohler School Dis-
trict. I come
to Kohler
after teach-
ing 4th
grade at
C e d a r
Grove-Bel-
gium Ele-
m e n t a r y
School for the past two years. Prior
to teaching 4th grade, I taught
Four-year-old kindergarten at
Auburndale Elementary School for
one year. While completing my
studies at the University of Wis-
consin-Oshkosh, I competed as a
member of their swimming and
diving team. I also swam at Min-
nesota State on a swimming schol-
arship for one season. I currently
coach the Kohler Splash High
School Girls Swim Team. This
will be my third season as head
coach of the team, which co-ops
with Sheboygan Falls, Sheboygan
Lutheran, and Sheboygan Chris-
tian.
I reside in Sheboygan with my
husband Nick and our 3-month-old
son, Brennan Otto. We also have a
cat, the famous Mr. Biggles. We
love to travel, and enjoy going
back home to visit our family in
Northern Wisconsin. This summer,
I have absolutely enjoyed my time
being home with Brennan. Watch-
ing him grow and reach mini-mile-
stones has made me appreciate the
finer things in life. It is simply
amazing how much a child’s smile
can brighten your day.
I am very excited to be teaching
first grade. I will bring my enthu-
siasm for teaching to Kohler and
inspire the students to be eager to
learn and to try new things. I want
to create a positive environment
that encourages lifelong learning
and growth for all students. I look
forward to meeting everyone and
working with all students, parents,
and members of the community.
Eliza Fluet, Director of College
& Career Advising
I’ve worked in college admis-
sions, financial aid and college ad-
vising for 25 years at both at the
u n i v e r s i t y
and high
school levels.
I have stayed
in this field
for all these
years because
I believe that
each student
has individual needs and dreams
and that it is my job to help make
those dreams become a reality. I
loved my first year at Kohler. The
students were very welcoming and
easily included me in their world
and put up with my very loud
laugh! I look forward to my next
year at Kohler where I will get to
work with all our high schools stu-
dents. I am fascinated how our
children change from teenager to
young adults over their four years
of high school. I am very blessed
to be working with such great stu-
dents and their families.
I have been married for a really
long time to a darling guy who
looks like Santa Claus and who
loves to play golf. We have four
grown children: 3 boys and 1 girl.
We always told our own children
to follow their dreams and they
did. One of them lives in Chicago
and works in IT for the American
Medical Association and works for
a community theater by night. He
attended DePaul University. One
lives in Hollywood, CA. and is a
comic by night and works in mar-
keting by day. He attended the
University of Alabama. One lives
in San Francisco. He is an attorney
who is currently working for the
Department of Justice. He attended
UCLA and Loyola of Chicago
Law School. Our daughter lives in
Washington, DC and is a Senior
Account manager for
Politico.com. She attended the
University of California at Davis
and is starting a Masters program
at American University in Political
Communication this fall. They
each had very different dreams and
went to very different schools.
They all followed their dreams.
Those dreams just did not include
living near Mom and Dad.
Since no one was racing home,
we decided to move to Kohler last
year. We had lived in Chicago for
many years and love the Midwest.
Taking the position at Kohler High
School allowed us to move back to
an area we love and for me to con-
tinue my vocation of working with
teenagers. We are both involved
with ministry at St. John the Evan-
gelist Catholic Church. My hus-
band and I are avid readers, (I will
read anything to do with history, as
I majored in history) and my hus-
band loves the literary classics
(yes, he was an English major).
We are currently learning to kayak
on the local lakes and rivers as
well as walking our two goldies all
around Kohler. We have thor-
oughly enjoyed our first year here,
even the winter was OK!!
Jennifer Hammann, Third
Grade Teacher
My name is Jennifer Ham-
mann, and it is a sincere honor to
introduce myself as Kohler’s new
3rd grade teacher! I feel very lucky
to be a part of such a dedicated, in-
novative, and passionate staff. My
goal is to provide each and every
child with the best possible educa-
tion that will
e n c o u r a g e
and challenge
them to reach
their full po-
tential. My
students will
interact, in-
quire, com-
municate, explore, critically think,
discover, and problem solve in a
classroom that doesn’t set limits on
what, where, how, and when stu-
dents can learn.
I graduated in May 2012 from
St. Norbert College with a degree
in Elementary Education and a
minor in Language Arts. While at
St. Norbert, I student taught in 2nd
grade in the Pulaski Community
School District and 6th grade in
the Green Bay Public School Dis-
trict. This past year, I taught 3rd
grade in the Fond du Lac School
District, and I fell in love with
third graders! I love their curiosity,
enthusiasm, and wonder, as well as
how we are able to learn and grow
together. My greatest joy in teach-
ing is watching my students grow
as individuals, team players, and
leaders, which makes every day of
learning exciting.
I am from the Elkhart Lake and
Kiel communities. Outside of
teaching, I enjoy spending time
with family and friends, checking
out new ideas on Pinterest, baking,
taking walks, and relaxing with a
good book. I also enjoy research-
ing and learning about new teach-
ing methods. I’m always looking
for ways to enrich my teaching,
and I love to try out new ideas.
Three things that make me happy
are chocolate, naps, and, of course,
my family. My secret talents in-
clude creating photobooks and
digital storytelling. With the help
of Shutterfly and iMovie, I enjoy
creating different works of art fea-
turing the people I love. I am fas-
cinated by everything, which often
leads me to ask lots of questions. I
truly do love to learn and grow! I
am most excited about getting to
know my students and their fami-
lies, and I’m looking forward to a
fabulous year filled with lots of
learning, growth, celebrations, fun,
smiles, and laughter!
Sarah Hoffman, Junior
Kindergarten Teacher
Hello Everyone! My name is
Sarah Hoffman and I am a second
year teacher here at Kohler Ele-
mentary. I teach
Junior Kinder-
garten as well
as the Kohler
Kare program
during the
school day and
love every
minute of it! I graduated from
Lakeland College, where my focus
was Elementary Education with a
minor in Early Childhood. I then
attended LTC to achieve a pre-
school credential to continue my
emphasis with early childhood.
My favorite memory of my first
year teaching was our First Annual
Junior Kindergarten graduation. I
absolutely loved seeing all of the
children finish their first school
year wearing their Bomber blue
caps and gowns.
This summer has flown by as I
have been spending my time out-
side with children for summer
Kohler Kare, attending weddings
for my closest friends, listening to
music, watching movies, and read-
ing. I am looking forward to meet-
ing our incoming Junior
Kindergarteners as well as recon-
necting with staff and past stu-
dents. I am excited about another
wonderful year at Kohler!
Karen Ingels, Elementary and
Middle School Administrative
Assistant
Hi, my name is Karen Ingels
and I am the elementary and mid-
dle school administrative assistant.
I really en-
joyed my first
year at
Kohler school
after a rocky
start that I at-
tribute to not
working full
time for 25 years when my first
son was born. I have 3 children,
sons 25 and 23 years old, and a
daughter 21 years old. My hus-
band, Randy, and I are renting a
condo in the Village of Kohler
while we are building a new house
in Howards Grove. I really enjoy
sports and have spent many hours
on bleachers watching my kids
participating in a variety of sports.
Our two sons were student man-
agers for the Wisconsin Badgers
football team, which made us huge
Badger football fans, following the
team to the Rose Bowl for the last
three years, to Hawaii, Las Vegas,
Florida, Indianapolis, etc. I also
enjoy playing board games and
cards with family and friends or
just sitting by myself and making
a puzzle.
My education experience in-
cludes a BBA degree from the
UW-Whitewater with an emphasis
in Finance. I worked in banking, as
a teller and then in the accounting
department; for a financial planner,
tax and insurance agency, which
included getting my Property and
Casualty insurance license; and
my last job before coming to
Kohler Schools was at the Sheboy-
gan Lakers’ Ice Center, where I did
all of the bookkeeping, registra-
tion, advertising, concession stand
management, and volunteer coor-
dinating. In addition to working
part time I tried to volunteer as
much as possible. I helped with all
of the sports that my children were
involved in (football, soccer,
hockey, track, basketball, golf, and
volleyball). I have been on the
SAYSO Tournament committee
for at least 10 years and help with
Ice Bowling. I look forward to re-
tiring someday and having more
time again for volunteering.
I really enjoyed getting to know
all of the students and parents of
Kohler school but please forgive
me if I cannot remember your
name – there were a lot to learn!!
I look forward to the school year
beginning again and knowing what
needs to be done and having more
time to organize some new things.
Beth Lambie, Reading and
Math Intervention Specialist
I am extremely honored to join
the Kohler School District com-
munity as the reading and math in-
t e r v e n t i o n
specialist this
school year.
Prior to this I
have worked
as both a spe-
cial education
teacher and
reading specialist for eight years in
the Campbellsport School District.
The opportunities I have had in
those years have prepared me to
join the quality staff in Kohler to
ensure that all of our students re-
ceive the education they need to be
successful wherever life takes
them.
My background includes a de-
gree in both elementary and spe-
cial education. My master’s degree
is in language and literacy. All of
these degrees I obtained from Car-
dinal Stritch University in Mil-
waukee. I live with my husband
and two little boys in Grafton.
One of my favorite past times is
cooking. Another joy in life for me
is when I get the chance to con-
tinue my attempt at learning the
game of golf. I also love to read
and wind down in evening with a
game or two of Suduko.
I am fortunate to have children
who share with me my love for lit-
eracy. The other night we were
reading Swimmy by Leo Lionni
and it reminded me of where I am
headed in joining this district in its
mission to inspire and engage stu-
dents to ensure they achieve suc-
cess. In the story, Swimmy
explores all of the magnificent
ocean life at the depths of the
ocean until he comes upon a
school of fish. Swimmy joins this
school of fish and together they
form one giant fish that is now able
to swim together amongst all of
the other fish in the sea. I truly be-
lieve education is a collaborative
effort and we accomplish the most
when we work together to educate
our children. I am really looking
forward to this opportunity to
work with the staff, parents, and
community in Kohler in accom-
plishing this great effort. Thank
you for the opportunity to do so.

Sept. 21.
JDRF Southeastern Wisconsin
Chapter Outreach Manager Sandy
Lange is looking forward to the
added opportunities that come
along with the new Kohler venue.
“Although moving to another lo-
cation is always uncertain, it
brings new excitement to the
event,” Lange said. “This is what
we hope will happen in Kohler, es-
pecially since it is a destination
city across the U.S. We also have
99 percent of our 2012 sponsors
committed to come back this year,
which is outstanding.”
The 5K, 3.1-mile run returns
after making a successful debut
last year.
“We had a nice start for the run
last year and we are hoping to
grow it more this year,” Lange
said. “The Run Committee has
been working on the route since
last December with Kohler Police
Chief William Rutten and Doug
Bocchini, who is the director of
student life at Kohler High
School.”
Awards will be pre-
sented for overall male and female
run winners, as well as first, sec-
ond and third-place finishers in 13
male and female age divisions.
“The division format that we had
last year worked very well, so we
are doing it in the same formate
this year,” Lange said. “ The race
will be professionally timed by
Race Day Events. Run shirts and
medals will be given out during
the awards presentation, which
will take place in the bleacher sec-
tion of the track after the run.
Registration for the run will run
from 7:30-8:30 a.m. with the run
scheduled to start at 9 a.m.
Just as they did last year, walk-
ers will again have a choice to take
the normal 1-mile course or to fol-
low on the 3.1-mile running
course.
Registration for the walk runs
from 8-9 a.m., with the walk set to
begin at 9 a.m. The run and walk
will take place rain or shine.
Runners and walkers can regis-
ter online at walk.jdrf.org
Walkers, runners are encour-
aged to form teams and collect do-
nations to support JDRF.
“Just like last year, the run can
be treated like an individual event,
or it can be a team-oriented,
fundraising event, like the walk
is,” Lange said. “The runners will
receive the same fundraising in-
centives that the walkers have.”
The early bird 5K run registra-
tion fee is $25 before Sept. 6.
The fee increases to $35 before
Sept. 21 and $40 on the day of the
race. All fees go to support the
JDRF fundraising campaign for
type 1 diabetes research.
Last year’s Sheboygan County
Walk to Cure Diabetes, which also
includes participants from Mani-
towoc and Fond du Lac counties,
drew over 500 walkers and 54
teams, while raising $127,000.
The theme for this year’s Walk
to Cure Diabetes, “Knock T1D
Out of the Park,” encourages par-
ticipants to embrace a baseball
theme.
“The Ebben Field venue is per-
fect for our theme this year, so we
are planning on doing baseball re-
lated games, in addition to our
usual bouncy houses and games
for kids,” Lange said. “We will
have a D.J. this year too.”
Lange said all participants are
encouraged to stay after the
run/walk is completed to enjoy the
various activities and food offer-
ings.
“With all the activities and
food, people are encouraged to
hang out and have lunch and fun,”
Lange said. “The JDRF Walk &
5K Run to Cure Diabetes is the
only event happening on that day
at Ebben Field. We are under no
pressure to take down the setup, so
activities should at least go until 1
or 2 p.m.”
Thanks to the generosity of
Johnsonville Sausage, this year’s
event will include lunch.
“We have the wonderful support of
Johnsonville, which will supply
brats and hot dogs as they have in
the past,” Lange said. “The food
will have the same high quality it
usually does.”
The Corporate Chair for this
year’s event is Terry Stevenson,
who is the advertising and promo-
tions manager for Seehafer Broad-
casting Corp.
“Terry has been very active
with JDRF since his brother Derek
was diagnosed with type 1 dia-
betes several years ago,” Lange
said. “He has been a positive ad-
vocate for spreading awareness of
type 1 diabetes.”
The 2013 Sheboygan Area
JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes
Youth Ambassador is Austin
Walker of Plymouth.
Corporate sponsors include:
Sargento (gold), Acuity (silver),

JDRF is the leading charitable
funder and advocate of type 1 dia-
betes. Since it was founded in 1970
by the parents of children with type
1 diabetes, JDRF has raised $1.6
billion for type 1 diabetes research.
The mission of JDRF is to find
a cure for type 1 diabetes and its
complications through research.
Type I diabetes is an autoimmune
disease that strikes children and
adults suddenly, and can be fatal.
Although it helps type 1 diabet-
ics maintain steady blood-sugar
levels and live relatively normal
lives, insulin is not a cure and it
does not prevent potential compli-
cations, which may include kidney
failure, blindness, heart disease,
stroke and amputation.
Since its inception, JDRF has
provided more than $1.5 billion in
direct funding to diabetes research,
including $107 million last year.

ing program or the Juvenile Dia-
betes Research Foundation,

Bomber Basketball
seeking assistance
The Bomber Basketball Club is
looking for your help! As we pre-
pare for the 2014 raffle calendar
sale, we’re looking for pictures of
Kohler students engaging in extra-
curricular activities of all types. Ac-
ademic clubs. Drama. Chorus and
Band. And of course, sports of all
types. If you have action shots or
team photos of your sons or daugh-
ters from the past 12 months, please
email the digital files to ro-
[email protected] by September
30.
And as the Bomber Basketball
Club continues to grow, we’re also
actively seeking community support
in terms of time, talent and leader-
ship. In just the short time we’ve
been organized, the Club has al-
ready covered entry fees for eight
elementary and middle school bas-
ketball tournaments last spring, and
helped to offset the fees associated
with Kayla Tetschlag’s camp for
middle school girls throughout the
month of July. For the upcoming
season, in addition to the Club’s
hugely successful calendar
fundraiser, we plan to explore new
opportunities to support the boys’
and girls’ programs through equip-
ment, uniforms, guest
speakers/coaches, and more.
If you have a passion for the con-
tinued growth and success of youth
basketball in Kohler, or you want to
learn more about the Bomber Bas-
ketball Club, please contact us at

School is back in Session
Now that school is back in ses-

carefully on the streets around the
school. The speed limit is 15 mph
when children are present in the
school zones. There is no stop-
ping or standing of vehicles for
the westbound traffic on School
Street. Also, parents that drop
children off in the morning and
don’t want to use the parking lot
canopy should do so close to the
crosswalk so the students can be
helped across the street. Students
that are crossing in mid-block
amongst the vehicles are harder
to see and are not safe.

Reporting of Illicit Discharge
It is a requirement in the Village
of Kohler Storm water permit
with the DNR to educate the Pub-
lic on illicit discharges to the
storm water system. An illicit dis-
charge would be the dumping of
any chemical, pet waste, or haz-
ardous substance into the street or
a storm basin inlet. The substance
would eventually make its way
into the Sheboygan River causing
a pollution hazard. To report an
illicit discharge, please call the

2013 Kohler Food & Wine
Experience Highlights
Unique to Kohler, each Main Stage
session provides ticketed guests
with samples of the chef-presented
recipes being prepared on the stage.
The presenting chef and audience
members alike appreciate this inter-
active platform that encourages
conversation, feedback, commen-
tary and questions. Additionally,
guests have the opportunity for ca-
sual interactions with celebrity and
regional presenters during book
signings, wine dinners, celebrity
chef luncheons and special evening
events.
“Atypical of a food and wine event
of this caliber, the culinary experi-
ence afforded by sharing recipe
samples is immeasurable and cre-
ates an interactive format unlike
any other,” said Event Manager Tri-
cia Rathermel. “Tasting the fea-
tured foods paired with
chef-selected wine, beer or spirits
keeps the demonstrations interest-
ing from start to finish.”
Year after year, the Kohler Food &
Wine Experience takes celebrity
cooking lessons to the next level.
At the 2013 event, guests can take
part in the new Knife Skills with
America’s Test Kitchen where the
guests get their own practice area
for a hands-on approach and learn a
variety of knife skill lessons from
holding, sharpening, cutting and
slicing different items in the
kitchen. For those more interested
in libations, the Hendricks Mixing
Demo is an exclusive opportunity
with Hendricks Gin experts for
guests to mix their own drinks and
learn about the newest drink trends.
Never resting on its laurels, the
event continues to offer new expe-
riences alongside signature week-
end favorites creating memorable
experience for all interests. Experi-
